No, they should be given access to what they can get. And they should get a
message with it explaining why they are not getting good access.
Blocking access to information is generally a bad thing, as many users are
not in a position to upgrade every time an upgrade is avilable. Which does
not excuse them of the responsibility, nor their adminstrators of realising
that it is important.

But were they right in theory if not practice? The Web Standards
Project (www.webstandards.org) has this campaign to put something
on your web site telling people using "broken browsers" to upgrade
to something more standards compliant. Is that the right approach
to take for accessibility's sake?
Should someone using a "broken" assistive technology program which
doesn't follow the standards closely enough be denied access?
